Passbolt

About Passbolt

Passbolt is an open source password manager designed specifically for teams, organizations, and technical users who need secure and auditable credential sharing. Unlike consumer focused password managers, Passbolt is built with collaboration, access control, and security transparency in mind, making it a trusted solution for DevOps teams, IT departments, and security conscious organizations.

At its core, Passbolt uses strong end to end encryption based on OpenPGP, ensuring that passwords are encrypted on the client side and never exposed in plain text to the server. Being fully open source, Passbolt allows organizations to audit the code, host it on their own infrastructure, and maintain complete ownership of sensitive credentials.

Häufige Anwendungsfälle

IT and DevOps teams use Passbolt to securely store and share server credentials, database passwords, API keys, and SSH access details among team members. Granular permission controls ensure that only authorized users can view or modify specific secrets.

Software development teams rely on Passbolt to manage shared credentials for staging and production environments, reducing the risk of passwords being sent through chat tools or stored in unsecured documents.

Agencies and managed service providers deploy Passbolt to separate credentials per client while maintaining centralized control. Security teams also use Passbolt to enforce password policies, rotate credentials, and maintain an audit trail of access and changes.

Why Deploy Passbolt on a VPS

Running Passbolt on a dedicated VPS-Server-Hosting environment ensures that all sensitive credentials remain fully under your control. Self hosting eliminates reliance on third party password management services and reduces exposure to external breaches or policy changes.

A VPS provides the isolation, storage, and performance required to handle encrypted credential data, audit logs, and team access without limitations. Full server access allows integration with internal authentication systems and custom security hardening.

By deploying Passbolt on Cloud-Server, organizations gain scalable, always available access to their password vault while preserving data ownership, compliance, and long term security.
